(Closed) Guest List – Can I remove someone who got a save the date?!

I’m new here, and I could really use some help with this question. Fiance and I are inviting a lot of people from work, because we met through work. Everyone has witnessed the evolution of our relationship, so we wanted to include them in this next step! We decided to invite our entire departments, as well as random others that we’ve been friends with for a long time. However, there is one girl who will be leaving FI’s department, leaving the company, and moving out of state soon. I never really liked her – I just was going to invite her because she was in FI’s department. She got a save the date earlier this year…can I not invite her?! Or am I stuck because I sent her a save the date?!

You SHOULD send her an invite although with her situation you could probably get out of it because of her moving (and just say it must have not gotten forwarded). I’d just send one – she might not come if she’s out of state.

I would probably err on the side of etiquette and say just do it. It sounds like she’ll turn you down anyway. But you never know. If she was planning on coming home for a visit and attending the wedding, it would be bad not to get an invitation after getting the STD.

most people willl tell you “no” that it’s in bad form and bad etiquette to send her an STD and then not invite her. But I did this. Long story short – one of my mom’s older brothers – who lives a few thousand miles away (we’re in indiana, he’s in oregon) – well, I sent him an STD but NO invitation. He’s not liked by the family and his only son (who I invited and am excited to see) hates his father (long family drama) so yeah – I didn’t send him an invite. Granted, he wouldn’t have come or sent anything even if we had – but yeah. I did not send him one.

everyone’s situation is different – truly in the grand scheme of things – once the wedding is said and done with – will anyone care that you didn’t invite this girl, just because you’d sent her a save the date? I know I’ll be the minority and possibly one of the only ones to say this. but to me – NO you don’t have to send someone an invite if youdon’t want to.

We are in the same situation.. but we never sent out save the dates..My Fiance just told this guy from work that he was going to invite him but when i told him to send me his updated list (because it changes everyday) he took him off.. and when i asked him about it he said “He doesn’t work with me anymore and we only talked at work” … I mean that is him… i dont know.

No, you cannot NOT send an invite – a save the date is as good as an invitation. This is considered very poor etiquette, especially since she hasn’t exactly done anything to to warrant an uninvite. If you think she won’t come why not just send it – and if she’s moving out of state she probably won’t. If she shows up though, who cares? You probably won’t even notice.

It’s bad etiquette, but I am in an identical situation with a girl at FI’s office and we opted to forego sending her an invite. We don’t like her and don’t want her there…she was just invited because the rest of the office was. Well, now that she’s leaving…phew! I’m typically an etiquette-o-holic but we’ll never see her again so I don’t feel that bad about it.

Presumably, you already firmed up your guest list and accounted for the maximum amount of guests prior to mailing the Save-The-Date Cards. If she comes, you won’t have to really talk to her much, besides just saying “Hi, thanks for coming” since you’ll be busy partying and spending time with your family and friends whom you do like. Not to send an invitation would be poor form, IMO.
